Have you ever caught yourself thinking… I need to be more disciplined. Why can't I stick to anything? I should be eating more protein. I need to meal prep. I need to stop snacking. I just need to try harder. When taking care of yourself feels impossible, it's easy to assume you're the problem. But what if you're not failing at your health goals?

2026/09/09

What if you could practice how you'll respond to the intensity of a contraction…before you're actually in labor? No, we can't recreate contractions during a pregnancy workout (and we don't want to!). But we can intentionally practice experiencing physical intensity, using our labor coping strategies, and then fully releasing tension when the intensity is over.
